Rachel Maddow Extends Public Feud with Sloppy Fabulist Scott Brown

Rachel Maddow is not quite finished correcting Scott Brown. Earlier this week, Brown sent out an email warning potential donors that Maddow is considering running for Senate, which she is not. In response, Maddow aired a fairly self-explanatory segment on the Rachel Maddow Show called “Seriously, Scott Brown? Seriously?” Today, she also took out a full-page advertisement in The Boston Globe lambasting Brown for spreading poorly conceived rumors, and making fun of him for not even being very good at spreading poorly conceived rumors. “I’m running this ad not because I’m running against Scott Brown—I’m not, he made that up—but because he’s the Senator for all of us, and maybe this will make him think twice the next time he wants to smear one of this constituents to raise money out-of-state,” she wrote.

The subtext of the advertisement: why is Rachel Maddow such a better politician than actual politician Scott Brown?
